The Month of April
As you may know, in the United States we follow the modern twelve month calendar. This is called the “Gregorian Calendar“. Much of the world uses this calendar today. In this version of the calendar, April always has 30 days and is the fourth month, however it was not always this way. In fact, in an earlier version, called the “Roman calendar“, April was the second month.
The month of April gets its name from the Greek Goddess Aphrodite. Aphrodite is known to be the goddess of love and creation. This makes sense as April is the second month of spring, a season known for new life. In addition to being named for the greek goddess of love, some believe that April gets its name from the Latin word “aperit”. “Aperit” means “to open.” This also fits with the theme of April bringing new life, specifically the flowers that bloom or “open” during this month.

April Holidays & Observances
In our April Calendar, you will find 30 days. Additionally, you will find all major holidays already labelled for you, including Easter Sunday, Easter Monday, and Tax Day.
Easter Sunday
In America, Easter is a big holiday for those of the Christian faith. According to the bible, this is the day that Jesus was reborn, or rose from the grave after being crucified. For Christians, Easter is a joyous celebration of rebirth and renewing faith that everything is possible. Easter Sunday is an important day to attend church, full of high-spirited music and prayer. Oftentimes, Christians will leave church and gather with family afterwards for a big meal. In a more “Americanized” tradition, children may go on “easter egg” hunts or receive candy from the Easter Bunny.
Similar to Santa Claus on Christmas, many family encourage children to believe that the Easter Bunny comes and delivers candy to children the night prior to Easter. It is customary on Easter Sunday for children to wake up to baskets full of candy and colorful eggs. They might also be led into an open field or throughout their house to search for colorful plastic eggs full of candy.
In April 2023, Easter Sunday falls on Sunday, April 9. You will find this labelled in the Blank Calendar that you are able to download by clicking below.
Easter Monday
The day after Easter, Easter Monday, will be observed on Monday, April 10 in 2023. It is a non-working day observed by some companies, especially federal employees. Because Easter Sunday is a day full of huge celebration, some believe it should be continued into the following day. Easter Monday is always included in our printable calendar that can be downloaded below.
While the majority of businesses will remain open on Easter Monday, certain traditions are held in certain parts of the United States, including the White House. Starting with the first lady in 2007, the tradition of the “White House Egg Roll” began. This is when eggs are rolled down a large hill, with food and music accompanying the celebration.
Also on Easter Monday at the White House, each and every state, and the District of Columbia, submit an egg decorated by an artist to present to the President. This tradition began in 1994 and is organized by the American Egg Board.
Tax Day
Every April 15 in the United States is designated as “Tax Day” for the year prior. In April 2023, Tax Day will fall on Tuesday, April 18. In the case that Tax Day should fall on a Saturday or Sunday (a non-working day), then it will be observed on the following business day. Tax Day is included in our calendar pdf that can be downloaded below.
While Tax Day in the United States is not a federal holiday, it is a day that requires a lot of preparation, especially for accountants. Pay stubs, working history forms, receipts, and more must be collected for the prior year and filed by this date.
